Source text - EnglishThe field's development was approved in July 2000. The field has been developed as a stand-alone project using a processing, drilling and quarters platform. The facility provides separation prior to stabilisation and export of the condensate. Rich gas is exported via a dedicated 30” 147 km gas pipeline. Condensate is exported via the Oil Pipeline via a tie-in to the second XXX oil pipeline from the XXX C platform to the XXX Terminal. The production start-up was on schedule and within approved cost estimates. Production volume in the current contract year is according to prognosis. The production regularity has been higher than expected and the production systems have been tested at maximum available well capacities, which are close to design platform capacity, with positive results. Total capital expenditure for the Field development is estimated at USD 1.6 billion.

The XXX is a high pressure/high temperature gas and condensate field located east of the XXXs field. The reservoir consists of sandstones of Middle Jurassic age. The structure has numerous fault bounded compartments.

The platform is equipped with a total of 16 well slots. The primary drilling program covers the drilling and completion of 11 production wells, one of which will be drilled to the XXX field, and one designated well for waste disposal in the XXX formation. The wells are classified as high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) wells. The initial reservoir pressure is 775 bar at 4000 m TVD MSL. The maximum shut in wellhead pressure is 620 bar. The reservoir temperature is 151°C.
So far 4 wells have been successfully drilled and completed. The 5th well is scheduled to start during July 2005. Production started 1 October 2004 and is planned to increase to a plateau rate of 7.3 GSm3/y in 2007 as further wells are drilled and brought on stream, with a potential for further increase after testing and debottlenecking of the production systems. To reduce pressure drawdown, the current production profiles includes reduced offtake until the primary drilling programme is completed on XXX late 2006.

Source text - EnglishMetal foams made of grains and pores only nanometers or billionths of a meter wide are lighter than Styrofoam, enough to float on water. The extraordinarily high surface areas these unprecedented foams possess suggest they could serve as excellent platforms for chemical reactions that for instance help generate electricity or remove pollutants, experts told UPI's Nano World.
The methods used for making metal foams have until now been limited mainly to a handful of metals such as aluminum. These produce relatively dense, heavy foams or low-density foams with large pores and low surface areas. The new and simple technique energetic materials chemist Bryce Tappan and a multidisciplinary team of his colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico developed produce unprecedented ultra-low density foams with pores as little as 10 nanometers wide from metals scientists could not foam in the past.

Source text - EnglishThe technical analysis of whey drying process in the drying tower Niro-1800 containing vacuum evaporation equipment VVU Shefers showed that during condensation of whey with solids content 5,65% the VVU Sheffers capacity prevents the drying tower Niro-1800 from reaching the maximum capacity. For eliminating the capacity imbalance between the VVU Sheffers unit and the drying tower Niro-1800, it is reasonable to integrate a nanofiltration unit into the process line. The inclusion of a nanofiltration link in the process flow makes it possible to:
• To load optimally the VVU Sheffers and reach the maximum capacity of Niro-1800 during whey drying.
• To improve the quality of end product.
• To lower significantly the direct costs of whey condensation, to gain the opportunity to produce new products.

The phase No.1 implementation will make it possible to load fully the drying tower Niro-1800 at maximum capacity, to lower costs- indirect and direct – for producing 1 kg of end product and to produce annually:

Native Russian speaker,15 years of freelance translation, 5 years of full-time translation. Solid reputation for reliability and quality.

Having technical as well as humane university education helps me to successfully translate both technical papers and fiction. I have been working as a translator for 20 years already and have come to know all the particular features of this wonderful trade. I consider translation as a specific challenge, which takes a lot of hard work and requires of a translator special abilities and particular turn of mind. Real translators, I think, are people of a particular stamp, kind of a caste, I would say. By no means everyone can be a translator.

I began my professional translation career in 1987 when I joined the All-Union Research Institute for Light Sources as a full-time translator. For the period of five years I have translated hundreds of articles and papers relating to lighting engineering and electrical engineering. In 1988 I was appointed to the position of a senior translator in the Institute Information Department.
But nothing stays the same. In 1991 after the breakdown of the USSR, resulted in economic recession and mass dismissals, I began to work as an independent freelance translator.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Having more spare time, I was able to translate novels for Moscow publishing houses.
